Christina Chong Wiki: Age, Childhood, and Education

Christina Chong was born on 18 September 1983 in Enfield, London, England, and comes from a diverse heritage, with a Chinese father and an English mother. Growing up alongside her five siblings in Broxbourne, her life took a turn after her parents’ separation, moving with her mother and siblings to Longridge, her mother’s hometown, where Chong and her siblings faced the unique experience of being the only mixed-race children in the local school. She discovered her passion for dance at an early age, and attended the Sutcliffe School of Dance in Longridge.

At 14, her talent led her to secure a place at the prestigious Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London, where she honed her skills over five years and from which she graduated.

However, upon returning to London, Chong encountered challenges in finding acting opportunities, leading her to take on minor supporting roles and commercials to make ends meet. Furthermore, she taught acting lessons at schools, and invested in her father’s Chinese restaurant in Harpenden to support herself financially during her early acting days.
